Brian,
I finally got to redo it on my saw. With the main blade running push the OK button ( light should light up ) on the scoring saw panel hold the up button to raise the scoring blade to the very...
Brian,
I'll look in my Owners Manual for the instructions, no email, it was on a phone call but I made notes. I'll also do the procedure on my saw before I reply so I know I have it correct.
I have an 2003 F45 which from time to time has had the same thing happen, my Altendorf dealer Normand Machinery told me what and how to do it. If my memory is correct with the saw running power the...
Guys, thanks for the help.
Scott, when you say "I ended up making my own " I'm very interested how you went about this. Please give us details.

I've been using the 6 shaper Weaver Door door setup for years in my cabinet shop. 2 shapers has Weaver variable speed belt feeders which I have put through rails as short as 2". Check out their...
I have an old Delta 12/14 saw that acts as an out feed table to my Altendorf F45 3m slider. The main reason for them facing each other back to back is, I straight line the first edge using my slider...
Turn that blade 90* to your stone, use your fingers to hold the blade flat on the grind of the cutting edge, start at the right corner of the blade go forward and roll the blade the same time. I'm...
Preferring the shaker style, Chris Becksvoort, Thomas Moser and Tage Frid has been a huge influence to me. Many others like Mary May, Nancy Hillier, Chris Buchanan, David Fisher, all great in their...
Like others many years ago I bought the Gramercy bow saw kit when it first came out. I enjoyed using it but the blades were less than ideal. With many years collecting dust, reading this thread has...
When I purchased my MEC 300 20+ years ago for my cabinet shop, I built a steel frame that my 4' infeed and 8' stop side tables are mounted. At the same time I purchased from Maya Positioning, 2 guide...
Derek thanks for your post on mitre glue-ups, it's always insightful to have your input. Like yourself I like mitres but what's notable is many of your posts and articles contain mitres from over...
I do wide glue ups a lot, I'd suggest diluting your yellow glue with 5% water to lengthen the opening time. Some people use splines, biscuits or dowels but I use nothing. Make sure you ready and...
I have both oldish Stanley's, LN and LV planes but tend to go for my LN planes first. Yes LN and LV has superior quality in all aspects but also very gratifying to know how lucky I am I can gift...
I purchased a Performax 2 drum 36" sander some 20+ years ago. I used it almost daily for all that time in my cabinet and furniture shop. Making cabinet doors and frames, passage doors and furniture...
Kent Labrador is very nice, the further north you go the nicer it gets. When I worked on the North Warning System maintaining the gensets across the arctic from Wales Island to east of Baffin Island....
Russell, For sure USPS is the best option. I live in Port au Port East just outside of Stephenville on the west coast.
Just got notification today LN has a small batch of the Iron 212 scraper available, which I had been waiting patiently to have.
Awesome, I went to LN to place the order for my new addition. During...
Take a piece of frame stock 84" and rip 2 pieces at 45* so you have 2 triangle strips. Glue the widest portion of the triangle along the length on each side of the miter with a piece of news print...
Very nice shaper. Download the Aigner safety accessories catalog, they build exceptional accessories for shapers, saws, etc.
I have always used both sides of my D1258 so I have the bottom tail wide enough to accommodate the drawer bottom with out being seen. This way I can do both sides of the drawer without moving any...
Absolutely beautiful. Is it your own design and would you share dimensions.
Find a book that covers making shaper tooling, chisels, knives, etc. and do some research. Go to your local automotive parts outlet and purchase a length of key stock. Cut off a piece to length,...
